Way to go Sam!!!

We are so excited for our friend Sam Roebuck!! He and his family packed up and moved to North Carolina late last summer to go after Sam's dreams of working in the big 3 of Nascar. Sam has been a fixture in Northwest racing since FOREVER. Sam went to work for a Craftsman Truck Series Team with driver Scott Lynch. Sam worked all winter on getting this team ready for the 2008 season that kicks off this weekend in Daytona. Well tonight Sam, Scott and team qualified their truck 13th and made the race! We have always known that Sam had talent way beyond the scope of racing we have out here. The greatest thing about Sam though is how great of person he is. Someone you can not only be proud to call a friend but also honored!

So tomorrow night at 4:30 tune in and watch and cheer for the #29!! I know Heather was torn on taking the kids out of school to go watch Daytona but they are on their way to support Sam and I'm so glad. I hope that tomorrow is every dream come true for their kids Blake and Emily and that Sam can enjoy every minute of being in Daytona and being part of the best of the best... because he is certainly deserving!

The Roebucks are a great reminder to go after your dreams!

I couldnt agree any more! Sam, Heather and the kids are wonderful people and they continuously inspire me for chasing their dreams and leaving everything they have ever known to do what they have dreamed of. I bet Blake wont even be able to sleep tonight, he has that same passion for racing as his daddy and that is so sweet! I'm so happy for them too :) Thanks for posting this!
